Magnific Rock - Surf Resort & Yoga Retreat Nicaragua

I went to Popoyo on a surf trip and chose MagRock to stay at. I couldn’t have been more impressed with the service. We stayed in the penthouse which had a beautiful patio overlooking the Pacific and Magnific Rock. The staff was incredibly attentive and everyone seemed to be keyed into what our plans were every day. The surf directors Brian and Jess put me on some of the best waves I have ever scored and provided excellent coaching and amazing photo/video. Lastly, we wanted to check out Granada and the GM of the hotel took us personally and showed us around the city and we took a boat tour. We fell in love with Popoyo and MagRock. I will 100% be back.

The Apartment was beautiful

I stayed at Magnific Rock for 8 days/7 nights in Feb 2024 as a participant in a private yoga/surf retreat. There were 14 of us from the USA and everyone had an amazing time. The rooms are basic, comfortable, clean and offer an amazing view of the ocean. The food was fresh, healthy, delicious and plentiful. Something for everyone including the vegans in our group. Some of us participated in the yoga classes offered by Mag Rock and enjoyed them in addition to the yoga taught by our private retreat instructors. The yoga room overlooks the ocean, has plenty of yoga mats and blocks as well as aerial silks. Some of our group participated in surfing either solo or with a small group lesson. The beach is amazing and great for walking, running and swimming. Every staff member was helpful, friendly and remembered our names which blew me away. There are a couple of small shops within walking distance to pick up snacks or basic supplies. Lots of hostels and restaurants also within walking distance. In-room massages can be arranged for $50 which is a bargain. Nicaragua is a humbling country to visit. Mag Rock fits in perfectly with the vibe of the country.

This is not only a place for surfers but everyone will enjoy looking at the enormous waves of this amazing beach (and views from your room). There are quite different rooms. More hostel style, little apartments with kitchen (older) and brand-new ones (modern, bigger terraces but without kitchen). Food in the restaurant was nice (good wine selection). Enjoyed the yoga lessons with a view on the water. Cleaning is a point for improvement. There was a lot of dust under the beds.
